Sessions
We have two exciting sessions designed to compliment your KS2 History Stone Age topic, or your KS2 Evolution topic, delivered to you as a private link via Zoom.
Simply the Stone Age
Puzzling over the Palaeolithic? Need to know about the Neolithic? This session is for you! Our “Simply the Stone Age” session is a quick romp through the three stages of the British Stone Age. Learn about the changes in the humans, animals and environment from the earliest of our ancestors to foot in our region, all the way through to the settlements and stone henges of the first farmers. Facilitated by a knowledgeable and engaging member of our Learning team, you will see splendid Stone Age artefacts close-up – some of which were found right here at Creswell Crags!

The session concludes with a Q&A, so have your questions at the ready! We also provide activity ideas, linked to the session content, to support further learning and exploration of the topic.
Examining Evolution
Mutation, selection, adaptation – oh my! This session explores the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, or how life on Earth came to be so wonderfully diverse. We’ll take you through some of the basic principles, like what mutations are, and how mechanisms like natural selection can eventually lead to huge changes through time! Using examples from our museum collection, we’ll illustrate these ideas with plants, animals and even ourselves, touching on case studies by Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace and other important figures in the world of biology.

Please note: this session makes mention of the role of sexual selection (mate choice) in evolutionary theory, but does not discuss the mechanics of reproduction itself.
